Coming Home chapter 4: Summer.
"So the summer."
"Grandma Francine wanted to spend the summer in Martha'sVineyard, I was happy to get away for a while before I started my first year at Harvard. We stayed at this beautiful place right on the beach, after finishing unpacking I decided to spend the day on the beach.
"Hey grandma I'm going to the beach, I won't go too far."
"Ok Lorelai, I'm going next door their old friends of mine do you have your phone on you I'll call you if something comes up."
"Have fun grandma, tell them I say hello."
"Of course Lorelai." I grabbed my things and headed off to our private beach. I took a quick dip before returning to my towel I sat down and starting reading the book a brought with me. I was lost in the story and didn't realise that a young girl had sat next to me. I looked up at her she looked to be 9/10 dark brown hair, with aqua coloured eyes. She noticed that I was looking up at her.
"Hi." She said with an Australian accent.
"Hi?"
"I'm Jen, I saw you and wanted to say hello, but I saw you reading and well my brother he always says that he hate's to be interrupted while he's reading, so I waited till you noticed me, but man I've been sitting here for at least half an hour and nothing. It's must be a good book."
"Wow, I thought my Mom and I were the only ones with that talent." I said and she just frowned. "Oh sorry I'm R- Lorelai."
"Lorelai that's a pretty name. So is it good." She gestured at the book.
"Yes it's one of my favourites 'Oliver Twist'." I smiled at the memoires that came to me just at the mention of the title. "Are you here with your family?"
"Yep, my Mum, brother and I, my dad couldn't make it he had to work." She explained with a sad expression.
"That's too bad, I'm here with my grandma –" I was cut off by a guy yelling also with an Australian accent.
"Jen, Jennifer!" Jen rolled her eyes.
"Do you have a brother?"
"No only child."
"You're so lucky." Jen turned to look at the guy. "Finn I'm right here, no need to yell." The guy, Finn came over and I saw his face and OMG! This guy was gorgeous, with his black hair and blue eyes.
"Jen where have you been mum worried sick you said you were going for a quick walk, you've been gone for more than an hour."
"Sorry Finn I lost track of time when I met Lorelai." Jen explained and waved her hands towards me.
"Oh sorry I didn't see you there I'm Finn Jen's brother." He said with a smile, I melted.
"Hi Finn brother of Jen, I'm Lorelai the reason Jen's been out so long."
"Yeah I wanted to say hello but she was reading so I waited till she noticed me but it took a while."
"Well mum wants you home, now."
"Fine!" She turned to me. "Will you be here tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Cool, I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye Lorelai."
"Bye Jen." Jen rang off, Finn stayed.
"Sorry about her."
"Its fine she kinda reminds me of well me."
"Well I have to go I hope we'll see each other again. Bye Lorelai the reason Jen was out so long." I just smiled at him as he walked away."
"You meet a sexy Australian in Mather's Vineyard?"
"How do you know he was sexy?"
"Just do."
"Anyway.
I was sitting on my bed reading when grandma knocked on the door.
"Come in grandma."
"Lorelai dear, we've been invited to dinners at the Morgan's in about half an hour."
"Ok grandma I'll be ready." Half an hour later I was ready and waiting for grandma. We left and started walking to the Morgan's.
"The Morgan's is that where you were today?"
"Yes, I've know Susan for years unfortunately her husband couldn't make it down this year." We made it to the front door. A beautiful middle age woman, with dark blonde hair, and green eyes opened the door.
"Francine come in, come in. Wow is this Lorelai she beautiful. I'm Susan." Susan greeted us.
"Thank you." I smiled. Susan put her arm around my shoulders and led me towards the kitchen.
"Would you like anything to drink?" After Susan got our drinks ready she turned to me.
"Lorelai come with me I want you to meet my children. Their both in the living room playing video games." She led me to the lounge room with two very familiar looking people on the sofa.
"Finn, Jen this is Lorelai Francine's granddaughter." Finn looked at me and smiled Jen on the other hand jumped up and ran over to me and hugged me. Susan looked at me with confusion written on her face.
"We meet earlier."
"Yeah mum this is the girl I met today at the beach." Susan smiled at her daughter.
"Well isn't that a coincidence. Dinner will be ready in 15."Susan left smiling. I looked at Finn and he and I burst out laughing.
"Jen come set the table." Jen left and it just the two of us.
"Finn Morgan."
"Lorelai Hayden."
"That's an impressive name. Francine never really spoke much about you before, you know."
"We weren't close before the accident; at least one good thing came out of, well you know." Finn smiled a sad smile. We stood their in a comfortable silent.
"Do you live in Australia?"
"Mum, Dad, and Jen do I actually attend Yale."
"Yale impressive. How long have you lived in the states?"
"Before Yale I moved around quite a bit."
"It's just that you have the accents still."
"Yeah I always go back home to Oz as much as I can."
"Finn, Lorelai dinners ready." Susan yelled from the kitchen I smiled at Finn and followed him as we walked to the dinning room.
Throughout the summer Finn and I became very close and we saw each other everyday but today I haven't seen him or Jen I was starting to worry. Grandma and I were leaving to go back to Boston in a few days and I wanted to spend as much time as possible with Finn and Jen. I was sitting on the beach reading when I saw Finn come up.
"Hello love."
"Hey Finn." I greeted.
"Do you have any plans tonight?"
"Not that I know of."
"Would you like to go to dinner with me then?"
"I'd love to Finn." I replied smiling. Finn told me what time he would be picking me up and that he'd see me later.
I was just about ready when I head the knock at the door I quickly grabbed my shoes and put them on while hopping to the door. I saw Finn and he looked amazing, he saw so handsome I couldn't believe that anyone actually looked like him.
"Love, you look stunning." I was wearing a brown short skirt, with a slim fitting black shirt with a v-neck line and flat gladiator sandals.
"Thank you, you look very dashing yourself." Finn wore a simple navel blue button up shirt with black pants.
Finn took me to a beautiful Chinese restaurant, while we waited for our food Finn asked about my past, even though we spent everyday together I never told him about the things that led me to the life I'm living today.
"What do you want to know?"
"Anything your Mum? Dad? Friends?"
"Well I'm sure you know about the scandal the rocked the Hayden's, my mother and father were sixteen when I was born. Straub didn't want my mother or me to ruin my father's life. I never really had any contact with the Hayden's I didn't grow up in society, that all changed when my Dad died. Shortly after Dad died I came to live with my grandparents."
"Wow love that would have been hard on you." Finn asked I trusted Finn but I wasn't ready to tell him about everything and show him the real Lorelai.
"It used to be. Ooh looks foods here." The waiter brought over our food.
"You don't want to talk about?"
"Sorry, it's not that I don't trust you or anything like that. I just can't. When I'm ready you'll be the first to know."
"I'll remember you said that love." That night was the first time we kissed.
"I had a great time Finn."
"Me to Lorelai, will you see me tomorrow before you leave?"
"Of course Finn. I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye." I smiled at him. Finn lent over and captured his lips with mine for a short but passionate kiss.
"Night love."
"Night Finn."
"So is Finn the baby daddy?"
"Mom you asked me to start at the beginning and that's what I'm doing I'm not going to jump around my life. You're just going to have to be patient."
"What? No tell mamma!"
"Nope."
"Fine!"
"Where was I? I had just finished my swim when I noticed Jen sitting with my things.
"Hey Jen, how are you?"
"I'm good, a little sad that the summer has come to an end."
"But we had a great summer."
"Yep we met and you and my brother met."
"Yes I met both you and your brother."
"You're going to keep in contact right?"
"Of course, Finn has my email address. And we could always write."
"And text each other." Jen added.
"Right texting. See there are plenty of ways for us to keep in touch."
"Are you gonna keep in touch with Finn?" Jen asked with hope in her eyes.
"Yes."
"Good." Just then I saw Finn walking up to us.
"Hey love, Jen." Finn greeted us as he sat down next to me I looked over at Finn and smiled and Finn smiled back at me.
"Hey Finn, guess what Lorelai going to keep in contact with me. Oh you as well Finn. I gotta go Mum wants me to start packing." Jen waved and ran back.
"Our last day." Finn stated
"Yeah." I say with a sad smile.
"Cheer up love, we'll talk and next summer I'll convince my mates Logan, and Colin and maybe even Steph, and we'll come to Boston."
"Really?"
"Of course love." Finn lightly kisses me on the lips. "So love what are we going to do today?"
"Let's just stay here at the beach."
"Alright love." Finn pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist. Finn and I sat at the beach just enjoying each others company until it was time to leave.
"Finny it's time I have to go." Finn pulled me closer.
"Alright love. Will you call me when you arrive home?"
"Yes." Finn and I stood up. We kiss one last time.
"Bye Love."
"Bye Finn." I smile and walk away from him.
"I rang Finn as soon as we got home.
"Hello?"
"Hey Finn, its Lorelai."
"Hi love, did you just get in?"
"Yep, just walked in the door. Say hi to Jen for me."
"I will love. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye Finny."
"Bye love."
